What are expectations around hosting and how much time goes into spending with the Experteer outside of work?

Experteers are independent professionals, and they certainly do not expect to be ‘entertained’ by you all the time in their free time. Having said that, it general it is a good idea to plan for some onboarding time and maybe a social activity during the first week(s) together, as that really helps with bonding and creating buy-in. It also depends on the size of your team - in some cases, it can work great to link the Experteer to other colleagues in the team to encourage outside work activities together such as a common dinner, road trip or site-visit.
